(eBook PDF) Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem 4th

Updated to reflect current research, Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat??s Last Theorem, Fourth Edition introduces fundamental ideas of algebraic numbers and explores one of the most intriguing stories in the history of mathematics?Dthe quest for a proof of Fermat??s Last Theorem. The authors use this celebrated theorem to motivate a general study of the theory of algebraic numbers from a relatively concrete point of view. Students will see how Wiles??s proof of Fermat??s Last Theorem opened many new areas for future work.
